Fashionable Smartwatch Concept

The smartwatch era is having a rather rough start with bulky designs and what I call a very “un-fashionable” look. Samsung’s first Galaxy Gear was a disappointment to me with the huge camera sitting on the strap. Their gear fit was a major step up but nothing to really throw my money at. What I and many other people want is something that doesn’t compromise design for performance. Gábor Balogh’s concept design for a smartwatch probably answers hours prayers.

The concept is simple, a round watch with a large screen that has plenty of room for  notifications, health applications, music playback and more. Its a very unique and attractive design. Check out more images below.

Samsung Chromebook 2

Today Samsung has announced two new, slightly more expensive Chromebook models. The new 11.6- and a 13.3-inch models are part of the Chromebook 2 Series that  both use Samsung’s ARM-based Exynos 5 Octa chips. They also rock a new design that replaces the silver plastic on the older models with a faux leather look that’s similar to the  design of Samsung’s Note 3.

The 13.3 inch version comes with a full HD LED display, while the 11.6 inch comes with a 1366×769 screen. The 13.3-inch version also features an improved audio system, with two 2W speakers and a noise reducing array microphone. The battery life as Samsung promises will be 8.5 hours.

The suggested retail price for the 11.6 inch is $319.99 and the 13.3 version will sell for around $400. Both units will go on sale in April.

The new phone sports a 5.1 inch screen with 1920×1080 display. Along with the large screen the S5 comes with a heart rate monitor on the back near the camera flash, as well as a finger print scanner which is comparable to the iPhone 5s scanner. The Glaxay S5 is also dust and water resistant which is a really neat feature that they have added.

Samsung UNPACKED

So you’ve seen the hype all over every single tech website. Samsung is teasing everyone with the next Galaxy release. If you haven’t already you can view their teaser video which consistently shows the number 5 leaving people to speculate that their next device will be the Galaxy S5. We only have a day left so I thought I would keep the teasing going by leaving their video here.
